Filling
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons powered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- ¼ cups toasted pecans
Frosting
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a pie pan with coconut oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the almond flour and baking soda together and set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in 30 second bursts until the cheese is melted, stirring after each 30 seconds. Using a fork, stir in the egg.
- Still using the fork, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Once you cannot mix any further with the fork, take the mixture from the bowl, and using your hands, use your hands until you form a smooth ball of dough.
- Wrap dough in cling wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Remove dough from fridge and place between two silicone baking mats or parchment paper that has been sprayed with coconut oil and roll the dough into a rectangle.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and erythritol together. Brush the butter on the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon mixture and the pecans on top.
- Roll your dough from one end as tightly as you can into a log. I used the cling wrap to help me keep the dough in place as I rolled it. Cut into 6-8 equal pieces, approximately 1.5-2” thick. Arrange the rolls in the pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Because oven temperatures vary, I suggest checking your rolls after 10 minutes for doneness.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream and powdered erythritol and whisk until smooth. Spread over the rolls.
